SADDLE BROOK — Police are asking the public to help them identify four vandals — wearing peculiar masks — who went on a 20-minute weekend rampage, spray-painting more than 25 cars and smashing their windows at an auto body shop.

Township police said the vandals caused $40,000 in damage early Saturday evening at the SB Maaco Auto Body Shop on North Fifth Street.

Deputy Chief Robert White said the damage was not discovered until the managers of the business arrived Monday morning and saw the cars sprayed with obscenities in white paint.

A security video pinpointed the time of the attack and revealed that the damage was caused by four men wearing white masks with black stars over the eye area, similar to the makeup used by rocker Paul Stanley of the group “Kiss.” White described the intruders as having slight to medium builds and in their teens to early 20s.

They used metal pipes, a fire extinguisher and a shovel to smash windshields and windows in several of the cars, White said. At one point, he added, the video shows the men attacking a 2010 Mercedes Benz S400, then fleeing when the car’s alarm started to sound. Moments later, when the alarm silenced, they returned to damage the vehicle further, White said.

The deputy chief said the body shop is in a secluded location off North Fifth Street, near the NJ Transit railroad tracks and Route 46. It is not visible from the residential areas of Fifth Street, and is easily accessible by crossing NJ Transit property, he said.

“Our hope is that someone from the public can identify one or all of the hoodlums involved in this disturbing and shocking crime, or maybe have heard of them boasting about their most stupid behavior,” White said. “They may have thought their silly rampage was a joke and funny, but our desire is that they soon learn just how not a joke it is to be locked up in the Bergen County Jail.”
